Saying hi.👋 I'm a #freelancer who offers PR, communications, and brand content for small lifestyle companies and the nice people behind them. With 12+ years of experience, my clients love that I help figure out (and tell) their full story. More at amcomms.co.

It doesn't matter how long I've been freelancing. I will still *always* be baffled by potential clients who sound so excited and eager to work with you but then disappear into the ether when you follow up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Who has more headlines this morning? The Chiefs and the Niners? Or, Taylor Swift's travel schedule? Never doubt the influence of powerful women.

For any #journorequest seeking Israel-Hamas sources, I have reformed Israeli & Palestinian radicals, now peacebuilders, who can share their sides on #IsraelHamasWar. Aziz Abu Sarah, Palestinian, and Kobi Skolnick, Israeli, both grew up in Israel and are available to interview.

"Personal narratives are often harder to dismiss than faceless news reports." New in @AFARmedia, client @MEJDI_Tours shares a beautiful op-ed about how travelers can act as citizen diplomats in the wake of the Israel-Hamas War. afar.com/magazine/op-ed-trav…

Follow peacebuilder @AzizAbuSarah for thoughtful, informed, relevant commentary on the situation in Israel.
"Now everyone's outraged, but we should've been outraged way before." Palestinian journalist and peace activist @AzizAbuSarah joins @_brittanylewis to discuss the Hamas attack on Israel. forbes.com/sites/siladityara…

This show. This scene. These writers are perfect.

If there's an age requirement to be a senator and to be the president, how the hell is there not an age limit?

A creative evolution of culinary travel featuring @ModAdventurists.
This isn't just passive eating. Proximity to celebrated chefs offer special hands-on opportunities you don't get on other food tours. on.wsj.com/3rf2YXH

This tweet is unhinged. As someone who pays $330 per month with an $8800 deductible, I pay out of pocket for literally everything on top of my premium. Democrats need an actual progressive candidate.
The rate of Americans without health insurance is at an all-time low. Premiums under the Affordable Care Act are $800 less per person than before I took office. We’re protecting consumers and reducing health care costs without hurting insurance companies, doctors, or hospitals.

America was such bitch on Friday and now expects us to attend her birthday party on Tuesday? I don't think so, sweetie.

Loved this question in @realBrookNash's newsletter this morning: what's your ultimate goal for freelancing? Mine is flexibility—to fit work into my life rather than build my life around work. Second to that is to work with people and on projects that I enjoy more than I don't.

Our usual August climate trauma is a weird flex.
I’m enjoying watching Portland get passive-aggressive about New Yorkers acting like they invented breathing wildfire smoke.

Please don't reach out to freelancers asking them to do free work. That's not what the term means.

Oh, look. It’s our regularly scheduled mass shooting. Just another day of families being torn apart with preventable loss and grief. #GunControlNow

Actors get the acclaim. Studios get the money. Writers make it all possible. Exactly zero of our favorite stories and TV shows and movies would exist without the immense talent and imagination of writers. PAY UP. #WritersStrike #WritersGuildofAmerica

In case you need to hear this today: It's totally okay if you find fulfillment in what your career provides and not necessarily your career itself. 👍🏻

Renfield is…only the second movie I’ve ever walked out on. But I did get to enjoy a refreshing root beer in the blissfully quiet theater lobby.
